The idea was to mix the results of an academic survey on sexism with secret camera experiments.

And the upshot was that despite the global revolution of #MeToo, here in Australia we languish in the dark ages of Don't You Worry Your Pretty Little Head where men judge women as inferior and solely on their looks.

There's no real equality - as a woman, you're screwed on all fronts. That's our reality, claimed the producers.

But what this type of faux science has delivered is not, in fact, a contemporaneous slice of Aussie life in 2018.

The very people forcing equality down our throats have spawned a far more dangerous hybrid - entrapment feminism.

Here's one example from the program.

A young woman in a skimpy outfit taking daylight selfies and randomly standing on a traffic island gets leered and jeered at by passing (male driven) cars.

I would never say she deserved that attention but it was definitely a scenario set up to elicit that precise response.

A young man in a T-shirt and shorts doing the selfie thing gets no grief at all.
